Chapter 1014 1014: Then who?
The cloud of bright light still hadn't dispersed when many people noticed something fall down. It appeared like a human, falling from great height.
The man appeared to be unconscious as his body fell, seemingly lifeless. No one could tell if he was breathing or not.
In the ship, the screen showed the close up of the person. Seeing the person, everyone in the ship seemed taken aback. It was Lucifer. Strangely enough, his body was still intact which should've been impossible.
"How could his body be intact?" The Commanding General frowned, his expressions filled with confusion.
Lucifer's eyes were closed, as if he was already lifeless. This made the General believe that Lucifer was dead, which was good for him. But still, it didn't make sense that the body hadn't completely disintegrated in the anti magic attack. No ability should've helped him.
"I want his body! I want to know what secrets his body is hiding!"
This time, the General personally left the Commanding Ship. The Spatial Barrier was stopped.
The General used the Ship's Support to teleport right next to the falling Lucifer. He didn't want the young man's body to fall and be damaged.
Although Lucifer was dead, his body could still be a perfect specimen for their research. He didn't want to lose this specimen.
Standing next to Lucifer, an old man grasped the wrists of the young man, preventing him from falling. Lucifer's body dangled in mid-air.
"To think that not even a scratch is left behind... Fascinating." He observed Lucifer, only to be even more surprised.
It was one thing for the body to not be completely destroyed and completely another thing for it to remain unharmed. If it wasn't for the fact that he could see Lucifer's heart had stopped beating, he would've considered that the attack hadn't killed him.
Just like his heart, Lucifer's breathing had also stopped. His body was pale, as if it was void of any blood.
"You really had too many secrets. What a pity that you had to die at my hands. You could've been a good servant for me."
Holding Lucifer, he flew back towards the Commanding Ship. The other Generals also flew toward the Commanding Ship and stopped Guarding Ron's Grandfather. Lucifer was dead. This battle was over. They didn't care what happened to Ron now.
....
The Commanding General had almost reached the Ship, when he frowned. He looked down. For some reason, his hand that was holding on to Lucifer felt warm.
Curiosity piqued, he glanced at Lucifer's lifeless body only to find a faint glow emanating from it. A surge of alarm coursed through him as he felt that Lucifer might not be completely feat.
Unfortunately, before he had a chance to formulate a response, an electric surge jolted through his arm, causing him to instinctively let go of Lucifer.
Black lightning flickered through Lucifer's body which should've been impossible if he was dead. It was as if the Black Lightning had a life of its own.
The lightning continued to crackle around Lucifer, mainly close to his heart. Lucifer's body fell once again, but gentle winds wrapped him in their embrace, making his unconscious body float.
At this point, it was clear that he wasn't dead... Or at least not entirely.
Another strange phenomenon occured as the sky was covered in dark clouds. Within seconds, blazing Lightning Bolts started falling from the sky, like it was the arrival of an apocalypse.
One of the Lightning Bolts fell on a Star Alliance Ship. Even the Ship's Defence couldn't protect itself. In the blink of an eye, the ship exploded, everyone inside it dying.
The other Captains immediately reached. They activated even stronger protective shields while being confused as to what was happening.
Even Ron's Grandfather was stunned. He was the strongest user of Element of Black Lightning. But the Black Lightning that fell from the sky... Even he couldn't grasp its true essence. It was as if the Black Lightning was similar to what he used, but different at the same time.
The Commanding General came out of his initial surprise. He was certain that it was the work of Lucifer.
"He hasn't died! This scheming bastard!'
That was the only thing that made sense, since he had never heard of someone's abilities activating on their own after their death.
He flew toward Lucifer, only for another lightning bolt to fall right in front of him. He stopped at the last moment, barely avoiding being hit by a hair's breadth.
His lips twitched, as he glared at Lucifer who was still unconscious. "Still pretending!"
He couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as he thought about what Lucifer's true motives could be. Why was he still pretending to be dead? Did he think that they could be fooled?
"This time, I'll make sure that you stay dead!" The old man exclaimed, as he raised his spear, ready to deliver a finishing blow. But before he could strike, a voice echoed through the air, stopping him in his tracks.
"Wait!" a familiar voice pleaded. Startled, the old man turned.
"Are you going to create problems again?!" The old man asked Ron's grandfather. The man had already made the prisoners escape and now he was trying to save Lucifer?
He didn't care. He was only focused on Lucifer. He turned his back on Ron's Grandfather before shooting out his spear, which was embedded with Anti Magic Stones.
As the spear hurtled towards Lucifer, a sudden burst of energy erupted from his body, sending the spear shattering into countless shards.
Astonished, the old man couldn't believe his eyes. How could it be destroyed? It was Anti Magic! No Element in the World should've been effective against it!
The sudden surge of energy had a limited reach, dissipating quickly. However, it seemed to inflict some pain on Lucifer, as his complexion grew even paler.
Simultaneously, bolts of lightning continued to descend from the sky. The old man witnessed one of these bolts striking Lucifer's heart, leaving him bewildered. He couldn't comprehend why Lucifer appeared to be attacking himself.
"Or is this... really not his work? Then who?" His expressions darkened.
